The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, which will be flagged off by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on September 7 from Kanniyakumari, will be the ‘greatest long march’ to unite India against the BJP and RSS’ “divisive agenda”, according to Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri. He also believed that Mr. Gandhi will be the Prime Minister of India in 2024.
Mr. Alagiri told The Hindu that the rally from Kanniyakumari to Kashmir was very important for India and its society. “The RSS is behaving as if they are the saviours of Hindus and Hindu society. They tried to do this even in Mahatma Gandhi’s time. They failed in front of Gandhiji’s spirituality,” he said.
Mr. Gandhi had said at the Jaipur conclave earlier this year that Gandhi was a Hindu, while Godse was a Hindutvavadi. “Mr. Gandhi’s speeches make this distinction clear. The BJP and the RSS are picking and choosing as to who Indians are. This is very dangerous to the society,” Mr. Alagiri said.
